General Description
Delrin, the worlds first acetal resin, is a highly versatile engineering polymer. It offers an excellent balance of desirable properties that bridges the gap between metals and ordinary plastics. Since its introduction in 1960, it has been widely used around the world in many applications, such as in the automotive, appliance, construction, hardware, electronic, and consumer goods industries. Delrin has gained widespread recognition for its reliability and performance in thousands of engineering components. Delrin is the DuPont registered trademark for its brand of acetal resin also commonly referred to as polyoxymethylene (POM).

Properties and Characteristics

The chemical composition, regular molecularstructure and high degree of crystallinity result in a unique combination of outstanding characteristics of Delrin acetal resins not found in metals or most other plastics: High mechanical strength and rigidity Toughness and high resistance to repeated impacts Long-term fatigue endurance Excellent resistance to moisture, gasoline, solvents, and many other neutral chemicals Excellent dimensional stability Good resilience and resistance to creep Natural lubricity Wide end-use temperature range Good electrical insulating characteristics

Compositions
General purpose grades of Delrin are available in several basic melt flow series: 100, 500, 900, and 1700. These differ primarily in melt viscosity with 100 being the most viscous and 1700 the most fluid. The most appropriate grade for a given application will depend largely upon fill requirements and end-use properties. The original Classic grades introduced by DuPont in 1960 continue to be an important part of the Delrin product line. Delrin 100, 500 and 900 are known around the world for their outstanding mechanical properties. In 1992, DuPont introduced a major upgrade to the Delrin product line known as the P products. These revolutionary new formulations provide significant benefits to the molding community, while retaining the superior physical characteristics that Delrin has always been noted for. Major benefits include excellent thermal stability, wider processing windows, low mold and screw deposit, minimal mold corrosion, and outstanding regrind stability. The P products are offered throughout the range of melt viscosities: Delrin 100P, 500P, 900P and 1700P. The newest major addition to the Delrin product family is the ELEVEN Series, introduced in 1996. The new Delrin ELEVEN Series essentially combines the outstanding mechanical properties of the classic grades with the excellent thermal stability of the Delrin P grades. In addition, the Delrin ELEVEN Series is modified to provide enhanced crystallization: faster cycle times, lower mold shrinkage, less warpage, reduced voids, and greater mold dimensional stability. The more crystalline nature results in even greater stiffness

and strength, as well as more stability and less permeation in prolonged immersion in many chemicals, including water, fuels, and oils. The ELEVEN Series is also offered in a range of melt viscosities: Delrin 111P, 511P and 911P. A wide range of specialty grades of Delrin acetal resin are available to meet specific customer needs for demanding applications: Toughened and super tough resins UV-stabilized grades Low friction and low wear grades Glass-filled and glass-reinforced grades Extrusion resins

A complete listing of general purpose Delrin and Delrin specialty products can be found in Table 1.

Colors
A number of standard colors are available at a minimum order quantity of 25 kg (55.1 lb). Fully compounded custom colors are available for most of the Delrin products at a minimum order quantity of 1000 kg (2,200 lb). All standard and custom colors of Delrin acetal resin are free of heavy metals. Compared with masterbatch coloring, fully compounded resin colors give the best possible overall offering due to careful pigment selection. Accurate metering and uniform pigment dispersion during the production process guarantee consistent color quality and optimal physical properties of the molded part, thus avoiding color variations and part failures which may occur with the use of masterbatches.

Processing
The most commonly used method for processing Delrin is injection molding. The surface finish of correctly molded parts of Delrin replicate the surface finish and shape of the mold. Standard extrusion equipment can be used to extrude the resin into rods, slabs, sheeting, and small diameter tubing. Parts or stock shapes can be machined or stamped. Consult the Delrin Molding Guide for detailed recommendations on optimum molding.

As a consequence of their enhanced stability, Delrin P and the Delrin ELEVEN Series have better colorability and allow for the use of a wider range of pigments. Colored resins may show slightly different properties compared with natural resins, especially for crystallinity and shrinkage. In some cases, such effects can be minimized by appropriate pigment selection.

Proven Performance in Actual Use

Standard Delrin and Delrin P have similar properties and may be interchangeable in many instances. Within a given viscosity or melt flow range of resins, the standard grades have similar properties, and in many cases, may be interchangeable, although there are some subtle differences. The ASTM property values in Tables 2 and 3 have been updated to reflect results on currently manufactured resin, as well as data obtained with revision to some of the test methods themselves. ISO physical property data is given in Tables 4 and 5. The suitability of a material for a given application depends not on a single property but on a combination of properties. While the data shown here are useful for comparing and selecting materials, experienced designers and end users should make a final choice after part performance has been demonstrated by their end-use testing. For more detailed design information and data, consult the Delrin Design Guide and your DuPont representative.

Product Form and Packaging

Delrin acetal resin is supplied as spherical pellets, approximately 2.5 mm (0.1 in) in diameter or cylindrical pellets, 3 mm (0.125 in) in diameter by 2.3 mm (0.09 in) in length. They are packaged in 1000 kg (2,200 lb) net weight bulk corrugated boxes and 25 kg (55.1 lb) moisture-protected, tearresistant polyethylene bags.
